    68 LHD westfalia for sale

    I'm reluctantly selling my 68 Westfalia - if space and money were no object, I'd keep it, but sadly both are, and it's just not being used as much as it should be. It's a US import, brought into the UK in 2012 by vw camperco - it was solid but needed some TLC. Salient details below, but do...

    New gearbox

    I fitted a freeway flyer and it transformed the drive at motorway speeds, but that was on a 1955 engine - I’d imagine, but don’t know, that a 1600 would struggle a bit with the higher top gear?

    Breaking a '68 Westy...

    Have you got the kidney shape brake fluid reservoir? And if the chap after the script badge changes his mind I wouldn't mind 2nd dibs.

    FOR SALE - 6 rib gearbox

    I've had this for sale before, but, despite lots of interest, nobody seems to reply to my replies ... So I've still got it. It came from a running bus, so as far as I know, it works A- and at the price I'm selling it for, there still enough room for a full rebuild at Bears prices if needed...

    6 rib gearbox for sale

    Now then, despite plenty of interest, both here and on Facebook, nobody has taken this away yet. It's sat in my garage doing nothing, and i have no need for it. I'll drop the price to 450, I do really want it gone. If location is a problem, we'll be in Devon for a few weeks in August, so...

    6 rib gearbox for sale

    Yes, there are plenty running like this, that's what I was planning to do. I think you might need a different bell housing and maybe a couple of minor mods

    6 rib gearbox for sale

    I wish I could, but apart from the basics, I'm afraid I end up asking someone else to do the work. I think there are people on here who have done the mod and are running with 6 ribs, I'm sure they'd give their advice. I'm sure I can find a way to get it to, or at least near Hickley

    6 rib gearbox for sale

    I've got a 6 rib gearbox for sale - code CP01 069. was told it came from a running bus and worked fine, though I've only seen it out of a bus. I ended up fitting a freeway flyer, so this is now surplus to requirements. I'd like £550 for it, which should allow for some rework if necessary and...

    Why does it take ages for a PM message to leave Outbox?

    I think it sits in your outbox until the recipient reads it - then it shifts to sent Or something like that

    MOT - still need to be careful in Derby

    Mosley - sound advice, and what i would normally do, but it's all sectioned off so I just sat down in the reception - a bit daft with hindsight. He did show me the stuff, which looked ok to me, but to be honest, a lot of it seems to come down to interpretation of the rules, which I have no...

    MOT - still need to be careful in Derby

    i'm fairly sure they were trying it on - I'd never used them before but noticed a few buses in their car park when I cycled past so thought I'd give them a go. Previously I've used a garage that just do mechanicals, this new place also do welding and have a spray shop, so draw your own...

    MOT - still need to be careful in Derby

    Just a word of warning to the unsuspecting I took my 68 for MOT a few weeks back, relatively confident that it would pass. It failed last year, but only on steering damper and handbrake, so minor stuff, and it's since had a csp disc kit up front, all new suspension along with a few other bits...
